Portsmouth striker Nwankwo Kanu remains a candidate to takeover the coaching reigns of Nigeria.
Kanu signed a new contract last summer with the Barclays Premier League club that guarantees him an extension to cover next season if he plays 20 matches in all competitions this season. At present he has made 18 appearances, but the signings of Jermain Defoe and Milan Baros on loan may restrict his appearances over the remainder of the campaign.
